Sometimes The Fault of MySpace Lies Within

Last week I groused about having trouble with MySpace, which led others to leave some nasty comments of their own.

A few months back, I got a call from a writer at a physics magazine, asking for comments on a controversy within AMO physics.

Ugh. O brave new world, that has such templates in it.

I've always, one way or another, automated my logins. Whatever systems one uses, there are various methods to do this and maintain as well a high level of security. But you must know this, no? For me, it's a relief not having to clutter up my memory with this sort of mumbo jumbo.
